  A few days ago, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun observed that many countries are stepping up their arms procurement due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, East Asia and other regions with severe security environment actively introduce new weapons. The supply of weapons in developed countries such as the United States and Europe is limited, and some emerging arms exporting countries have begun to rise.

  The military trade market has always been the "wind vane" of the game between big countries and the "barometer" of the international security situation. In the past year, with the increasingly active military trade market, the already turbulent international situation has become more complicated. The New York Times reported that the expansion of arms trade highlights the escalation of global tensions.

  The international military trade market heats up.

  According to the annual report released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in Sweden, in 2022, global military expenditure exceeded $2 trillion for the first time, of which the United States accounted for 38%. In terms of the proportion of global military expenditure, the United States and its NATO allies together account for 55% of global military expenditure. If you count America’s allies in the Pacific, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea, the figure rises to 61%. It is worth noting that the military expenditure of the United States alone exceeds the sum of the military expenditures of other countries in the top ten.

  "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" reported that many countries are stepping up efforts to introduce American weapons: Lithuania, which borders Russia, decided to purchase eight sets of "Haimas" rocket launcher systems from the United States at a price of 495 million US dollars; Belgium signed a contract with the United States to purchase air-to-air missiles capable of carrying the latest fighters. Based on the new National Security Strategy, Japan will introduce Tomahawk cruise missiles from the United States. As a supplier of weapons, the US defense industry began to increase production.

  All along, the United States has firmly occupied the first place in the world’s military trade. According to the data released by the State Council on January 25th, in fiscal year 2022, the total foreign arms sales of the US government authorized by the State Council jumped to about $51.9 billion, a surge of 49.1% compared with the previous fiscal year. In fiscal year 2022, the total authorized value of weapons and military equipment directly sold by US defense contractors to other countries and regions was about US$ 153.7 billion, up 48.6% from US$ 103.4 billion in the previous fiscal year. By the end of fiscal year 2022, the total number of entities registered to engage in defense trade activities in the Defense Trade Control Bureau under the State Council reached 14,445, which was also an increase compared with the previous fiscal year.

  Under the coercion and inducement of the United States, NATO members have further increased their defense budgets. According to the European edition of Political News Network, France’s expenditure increased by 7.4% year-on-year, with the goal of reaching 2% of GDP by 2023. Britain and Poland, which have exceeded this line, are seeking to increase their defense budgets to 2.5% and 3% of GDP. Belgium, the Netherlands, Romania and the Baltic and Nordic countries all announced plans to increase military expenditure to at least 2% of GDP. The "laggards" in southern and western Europe have also accelerated their pace, and Spain’s defense expenditure will reach 2% of GDP in the next few years.

  On November 21 last year, the 27 member States of the European Union reached an agreement to increase the military budget by 70 billion euros, and the European Union was responsible for the integration of military weapons procurement. Prior to this, Japan announced that it would increase its defense budget to $318 billion in the next five years.

  In October last year, the list of the top 100 military enterprises in the world in 2021 published by a foreign website showed that the total military revenue of the top 100 enterprises reached 595 billion US dollars, an increase of 7.9% over the previous year. This data has maintained growth for six consecutive years, continuously refreshing the record of the total revenue of the top 100 military products. On the list, the sales of military products such as South Korea and Turkey, which are listed as "emerging military industries", have increased significantly.

  "In this wave of military purchases, the supply and demand structure has undergone subtle changes." Zou Zhibo, deputy director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said: First, the buyers of military purchases cover a wide range. The countries that buy arms include not only the allies of the United States, but also other small and medium-sized countries, involving vast areas such as Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and East Asia. Second, the sellers of military purchases have also changed. In the past, the United States and Russia were the main sellers of global weapons, but because the United States wanted to support Ukraine and its own stocks, Russia had to fully deal with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The supply of weapons in the United States and Russia was greatly affected, and buyers turned to other countries that could export advanced weapons. The global military trade pattern has undergone major adjustments.

  Insecurity is everywhere.

  "In the past three years, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the global military trade showed a downward trend. With the improvement of the epidemic situation and the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the international military trade market has shown an upward trend. " Guo Xiaobing, director of the Arms Control Research Center of China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, told this reporter, "At present, the global arms purchase tide mainly presents three characteristics: First, the contradiction between supply and demand has changed. In the past, there were more sellers and fewer buyers in military trade. Now, the demand suddenly becomes very strong and the supply becomes tight. Second, western countries, especially some NATO members and Japan, have increased their military spending significantly, becoming major arms buyers; Third, as far as the supply side is concerned, in addition to the particularly hot US arms business, the performance of some emerging arms exporting countries such as South Korea and Turkey in military trade is also eye-catching. "

  "The outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is the most serious geopolitical conflict since the Cold War, which has a major negative impact on the regional and global security situation." Zou Zhibo said that the United States and some western countries are not only the instigators of this conflict, but also participants. The United States and some western countries continue to increase their support for Ukraine’s weapons level, while Russia vows that it will never accept a failed outcome. Therefore, the uncertainty of this conflict is gradually increasing, and the trend of escalating regional tensions is also increasing. At the same time, in this conflict, the civil infrastructure, including the "Benxi 2" pipeline, was attacked, and the scope of the conflict expanded uncontrollably, which made countries generally worried about the safety of their own civil infrastructure and the demand for protection infrastructure rose sharply. In this situation, the insecurity of small and medium-sized countries has generally increased, and it is urgent to introduce new weapons to seek self-protection.

  "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" reported that the momentum of expanding ground equipment in many European countries near Ukraine is also obvious. After the cold war, Germany has been reducing the number of tanks, and now it has begun to increase production again. Eastern European countries are promoting the procurement of large artillery such as howitzers. Lithuania, one of the three Baltic countries, has 30% more howitzers than the previous year. Countries such as Poland have begun to import tanks, self-propelled artillery and other ground equipment from South Korea.

  As the world’s largest arms seller, the United States is the biggest driver of the global arms purchase tide. The State Council’s surge in direct commercial arms sales is mainly attributed to the United States’ support for Ukraine in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and claims that arms transfer and defense trade are important tools of American foreign policy.

  "The United States manipulates the international situation through military trade and thus maintains its global hegemony." Zou Zhibo analyzed: First, military trade is an important starting point for the United States to implement its foreign policy. Who to sell weapons to, what weapons to sell and how many weapons to sell are the starting points for the United States to influence geopolitics and control the regional situation, and are the means for the United States to safeguard its global and regional interests. In this way, the United States can interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, exert strong pressure and even subvert other countries’ political power. Second, U.S. military trade has become a booster that intensifies turmoil and conflicts in the global region. The United States has a wide range of foreign military trade, selling arms to about 100 countries. The arms trade category covers rifles, tanks, warships, missiles and various types of fighters. These weapons with many varieties and huge quantities spread all over the world, which intensified the global confrontation conflicts and caused countless human tragedies. Third, the United States’ foreign military trade is right and wrong, as long as it is beneficial. The export of weapons to foreign countries should adhere to the principle of enhancing the defense capability of the receiving country and contributing to the construction of regional security. However, American foreign military trade completely ignores these principles and blindly pursues interests.

  "The escalating Russian-Ukrainian conflict is the most direct driving factor for the surge in US arms sales; Expanding arms sales is one of the ways for the United States to seek economic growth after the economic recession; The military-industrial complex is the root cause of the surge in US arms sales. " Guo Xiaobing believes that the US military trade "hands over the knife" and "arches the fire", taking advantage of chaos to make profits, exacerbating regional conflicts and camp confrontation.

  The overall risk of conflict has increased.

  From February 17th to 19th, the 59th Munich Security Conference was held in Munich, Germany. The Munich Security Report 2023 released before the meeting emphasized that the world is entering a crucial decade for the future international order. According to the Munich Safety Index released at the same time, the world has entered a new stage where insecurity is everywhere.

  "Military trade activity is a mirror reflecting the global security situation, and the two are inversely related. At present, the global tide of arms purchases has risen again, reflecting the changes in the current international security pattern and the deterioration of the security situation. " Zou Zhibo believes that the tide of arms purchases reflects the characteristics of the times when the world has entered a great change in a hundred years, reflects the efforts of countries to strengthen strategic autonomy and security autonomy, and highlights the sense of insecurity when the world is facing a nuclear threat. On February 6, 2023, UN Secretary-General Guterres issued a warning at the UN General Assembly, "We are at the most serious moment of nuclear war in decades".

  India’s domestic carrier aircraft landed on the aircraft carrier for the first time, Russia plans to develop UAV air command post, Europe plans to jointly carry out "future air combat system" cooperation, Britain accelerates the integration of artificial intelligence and armed forces, Israel launches new smart missiles, Turkey’s new UAV first taxi test, and the United States develops a new generation of strategic bomber & HELIP; … Taking stock of the military "news" in 2022, it is not difficult to find that with the worldwide defense investment rising, the military trade market continuing to be active and the competition escalating, countries have rushed to the digital track of cloud computing, Internet of Things and big data to compete for the commanding heights of military science and technology development.

  "In recent years, the international situation has been turbulent and international relations are complicated. Compared with a long time after the end of World War II, the cold war mentality and arms race have become more and more intense in the whole international relations. The overall rise in the risk of global conflicts has directly triggered a hot situation in the global military trade market. " Guo Xiaobing said that the global boom in military trade will not only further increase the risk of conflicts in already tense areas, but also further intensify the momentum of group confrontation.

  "In the special historical stage when the world has entered a century-long change, and in the dangerous period of confrontation and conflict among big countries, the international community should attach great importance to the severe security situation and development trend, and make great efforts to resolve the dangerous situation and eliminate potential safety hazards." Zou Zhibo believes that, first of all, we should build consensus, enhance the sense of community of human destiny, be highly vigilant and jointly oppose the hegemonic acts of some countries that uphold the Cold War mentality in an attempt to safeguard their own interests by provoking division, confrontation and war; Second, establish a summit mechanism for big countries. Great powers should establish a global security governance mechanism, communicate and negotiate on major issues such as world affairs and concerns of major powers, and try their best to eliminate misunderstandings and resolve contradictions; In addition, reform and improve the United Nations security system and mechanism, uphold the principle of collective security and the spirit of multilateralism, and enhance the voice of developing countries and the efficiency of the United Nations in solving security problems. The perfection of the United Nations collective security mechanism should focus on adjusting the scope of application, reforming the organizational mechanism and strengthening its flank construction.

There is a specific timetable for canceling the provincial toll station of expressway.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 10 (Reporter Wei Yukun) Recently, an executive meeting was held in the State Council to clarify policy measures, and strive to basically cancel the provincial toll stations of expressways nationwide by the end of this year, so as to facilitate people’s travel and improve logistics efficiency. In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport said at the routine briefing on the State Council policy held on the 10th that the Ministry of Transport has set a specific timetable to ensure the realization of this goal and task as scheduled.

Dai Dongchang, vice minister of the Ministry of Transport, said here that the cancellation of provincial toll stations on expressways is a very complicated systematic project, which involves a lot of work. The specific time schedule is to issue various plans and requirements, including technical standards, overall design plans, engineering construction plans and so on, before the end of May. The construction of the project will be completed from June to October, including the renovation of toll lanes, the renovation of toll stations, the upgrading of software and hardware, and so on. In November, the joint debugging test was started, so as to meet the requirements for switching between the old and new systems before the end of December. On this basis, timely organize and implement system switching to ensure the completion of this target task.

Dai Dongchang said that around the goal of basically canceling the provincial toll stations of expressways by the end of this year, work will be focused on four aspects.

First, speed up the construction and improvement of expressway toll collection system. It mainly includes: clearing and settlement at the central and local levels, upgrading the operation management system, standardizing the construction and transformation of hardware and software of toll stations, toll lanes and ETC portal systems, and strengthening the system network security.

The second is to speed up the popularization and application of ETC electronic toll collection system. The cancellation of provincial toll stations is not the cancellation of highway tolls, but the realization of fast toll collection without stopping through technical means. Therefore, the popularization of ETC is very important. To this end, it will speed up the installation of ETC vehicle-mounted devices for existing vehicles free of charge, promote the front-mounted installation of vehicles, expand service functions, encourage the application of ETC in car-related places such as parking lots, and realize the sharing of motor vehicle registration information to facilitate the installation of ETC vehicle-mounted devices for vehicles.

The third is to revise and improve laws and regulations. The abolition of provincial toll stations on expressways is a change in the national expressway operation mode and toll technology route, and it is urgent to revise and improve the highway law and toll road management regulations. In addition, it is also necessary to study and unify the highway traffic management policies for dangerous chemicals transport vehicles and motorcycles.

The fourth is to promote the stock of government toll roads in bond swap. In order to prevent and resolve the debt risk of toll roads, we will cooperate with relevant departments to increase the issuance of special bonds for toll roads, promote local government bonds to replace the existing debts of government toll roads that meet the policy requirements, optimize the debt structure, and prevent and resolve debt risks.

What is the function of car networking? Is it useful?

Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) is a technology that allows cars to communicate with other devices, systems and services in the surrounding environment. This communication can be realized through wireless networks, including the connection between vehicles and other vehicles (V2V), infrastructure (V2I), pedestrians (V2P) and cyclists (V2B). In addition, it can also communicate with Internet service providers (V2N) and other IOT devices.

The main functions of the Internet of Vehicles include:

1. Real-time traffic information: Through communication with other vehicles and infrastructure, real-time traffic information can be obtained, which can help drivers avoid congested road sections and save time and fuel.

2. Safety enhancement: The Internet of Vehicles can help improve road safety, for example, by detecting the emergency braking of surrounding vehicles and reminding drivers to take corresponding actions.

3. Navigation optimization: Combining real-time traffic information and map data can provide more accurate route suggestions for drivers and avoid getting lost or detouring.

4. Entertainment and information services: The Internet of Vehicles can provide various online services, such as music, news and weather, as well as the ability to connect with other devices, such as charging mobile phones and controlling home equipment.

5. Vehicle maintenance and diagnosis: Through communication with vehicles, vehicle networking can monitor the performance and health of vehicles, warn potential problems in advance and reduce maintenance costs.

6. Autopilot support: The Internet of Vehicles can provide key information input for autonomous vehicles, such as road conditions, traffic signals and pedestrian information, and improve the safety and reliability of autonomous driving.

Generally speaking, the Internet of Vehicles is a very useful technology, which can improve the driving experience, safety and efficiency, and lay the foundation for future intelligent transportation systems and self-driving cars. However, to realize these functions, it is necessary to widely deploy relevant infrastructure and technical standards, which still faces some challenges.

The original Country Garden lost 50 billion yuan in half a year. In addition to the Yang Huiyan family, there are two major families in Hong Kong.

After Evergrande fell, Country Garden couldn’t hold on. Country Garden, a mine that many people can’t think of, came to expect the unexpected. Country Garden was still denying rumors before, but I didn’t expect that Country Garden suddenly came out and said that it had encountered the biggest difficulty after the company was established. The latest news is that 11 domestic bonds of Country Garden have been suspended.

Country Garden also released a data, that is, the estimated loss in the first half of 2023 is as high as 50 billion. Now the market value of Country Garden has fallen to more than 20 billion, and at its peak, the market value of Country Garden exceeded 200 billion. According to the current situation, the next trend is still unclear.

The huge losses made Country Garden’s shares and debts double-kill, and the major shareholder Yang Huiyan’s family also suffered heavy losses. Country Garden’s market value plummeted, causing the value of their stocks to plummet. However, many people can’t imagine that besides the Yang Huiyan family, there are actually two Hong Kong families, one is the Lee Shau Kee family, and the other is the Zheng Yutong family.

Country Garden was listed in 2007, and Lee Shau Kee, Zheng Yutong, Guo Henian and other Hong Kong tycoons all joined the company. This is why the market value of Country Garden can reach more than 130 billion when it was listed. Lee Shau Kee’s private investment in that year was 1 billion.

Zheng Yutong’s investment is not as bad. In those years, Hong Kong bosses frequently invested in mainland companies, and Zheng Yutong also cooperated with Liu Luanxiong and Zhang Songqiao to invest in Evergrande.

In 2014, Lee Shau Kee also bought $250 million in Country Garden bonds at one time. Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong have a good personal relationship with Yang Guoqiang, the founder of Country Garden. They are both from Shunde. Lee Shau Kee and Yang Guoqiang once built a charity project together in Shenzhen.

I don’t know whether the two families, Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong, still hold shares in Country Garden. If they still do, then this time it’s really a loss. Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong, of course, the strength of the two families is very strong, even if the loss of 1.8 billion is not too big a problem.

Lee Shau Kee, together with Zheng Yutong, is known as the four richest people in Hong Kong. They have been on par with Li Ka-shing for many years. The strength of Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong is actually greatly underestimated. Their assets on the wealth list are only $20 billion to $30 billion. But in fact, their real strength is far more than that.

Lee Shau Kee controls six listed companies, of which Henderson Land’s total assets exceed 500 billion, and the company’s liabilities are less than 200 billion, which means the company’s net assets exceed 300 billion. Among these assets of more than 500 billion, there are more than 260 billion investment properties, with which billions of rents can be collected every year.

That is to say, even if Lee Shau Kee no longer develops real estate projects, it will only rely on rent collection, and there will be billions of rents every year. Rent collection is almost the best business in the world, because the risk is very small, and the drought and flood guarantee the harvest.

Henderson Land is also one of the four major real estate companies in Hong Kong. The best office building international financial center in Hong Kong was jointly developed by Lee Shau Kee, Sun Hung Kai and Hong Kong Metro. Lee Shau Kee holds more than 40% of the rights and interests in this building, and this part of the rights and interests alone can collect 23 billion yuan in rent every year.

In addition, Lee Shau Kee also controlled China Gas, the only natural gas company in Hong Kong. The company’s annual profit is also 6.7 billion, and the profit is very stable. The natural gas in Hong Kong is controlled by China Gas. At the same time, Ganghua Gas, a subsidiary of China Gas, also controls the natural gas business in dozens of cities in the Mainland. Lee Shau Kee also has a huge private investment fund. In 2013, he revealed that his fund had more than 130 billion assets. When Lee Shau Kee established this fund, it injected 50 billion yuan.

Zheng Yutong is also greatly underestimated. Zheng Yutong married Zhou Cuiying, the daughter of Chow Tai Fook’s boss Zhou Zhiyuan, and then he took over Chow Tai Fook. But at that time, Chow Tai Fook was just a gold shop. Later, Zheng Yutong developed Chow Tai Fook to Hongkong, and reformed Chow Tai Fook with modern company operation mode, which achieved great success.

In the 1950s, Zheng Yutong established New World Real Estate and began to develop its real estate business in Hong Kong. With the development of Hong Kong real estate in the 1960s, New World was successfully listed in 1972.

From 1970s to 1980s, Zheng Yutong’s strength developed rapidly. On the one hand, he vigorously developed real estate, on the other hand, he vigorously developed jewelry business, and his career was in full swing.

In the middle and late 1980s, Zheng Yutong, Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee and others had been called the four richest people in Hong Kong. Zheng Yutong himself died in 2016, and now his career is inherited by his grandson Zheng Zhigang. Not long ago, Zheng Zhigang took out more than 30 billion yuan at one time and privatized the new creation. This more than 30 billion is real money taken out from their family, which also shows the strength of their family. Even if we lose some money in Country Garden, it will be too big a problem for Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong family. But not for the Yang Guoqiang family.

The minimum down payment of the first suite is 15%, and the lower limit of the national mortgage interest rate is cancelled. How will the portfolio policy change in the real estate market?

On May 17, the central bank and the General Administration of Financial Supervision successively issued three policies, announcing that the minimum down payment ratio of the first set of housing personal housing loans should be no less than 15%, and the second set should be no less than 25%; Reduce the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans by 0.25 percentage points; And cancel the lower limit of the interest rate policy for commercial personal housing loans for the first and second homes at the national level.

Ma Hong, a senior researcher at Guangkai Chief Industry Research Institute, pointed out that the last time the interest rate of housing provident fund loans was lowered was in October 2022; Reduce the minimum down payment ratio to August 31, 2023. In view of the housing loan interest rate and down payment ratio, the regulatory authorities released a positive signal of stabilizing the property market by means of policy "combination boxing", providing more preferential policies for buyers, hoping to lower the purchase cost and better meet the rigid and improved housing demand by lowering the purchase threshold.

On the same day, a nationwide video conference was held in Beijing. He Lifeng, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, pointed out that relevant local governments should proceed from reality and properly dispose of the sold idle stock of residential land by means of recovery and acquisition as appropriate, so as to help housing enterprises with financial difficulties solve their difficulties. In cities with a large inventory of commercial housing, the government can order and purchase some commercial housing at a reasonable price as appropriate for affordable housing.

The industry believes that a series of new policies will help the transformation of commercial housing nationwide, which is expected to accelerate the operation of the domestic commercial housing market in the direction of balance between supply and demand and promote the stable and healthy operation of the real estate market.

The down payment ratio of the first suite is lowered to not less than 15%

On May 17th, the People’s Bank of China and the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau issued a notice on the policy of adjusting the minimum down payment ratio of individual housing loans.For households with loans to purchase commercial housing, the minimum down payment ratio of the first set of commercial personal housing loans is adjusted to not less than 15%, and the minimum down payment ratio of the second set of commercial personal housing loans is adjusted to not less than 25%.

On this basis, the provincial branches of the People’s Bank of China and the dispatched offices of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau independently determine the lower limit of the minimum down payment ratio of the first and second sets of commercial personal housing loans in each city under their jurisdiction according to the regulation requirements of the city government and the principle of making policies according to the city.

Chen Wenjing, director of market research of the Central Finger Research Institute, pointed out that after this policy adjustment, the down payment ratio of the first set of housing was reduced to not less than 15%, and that of the second set of housing was not less than 25%, down by 5 percentage points respectively. At present, many places in the country have reduced the down payment ratio to 20% and the second set to 30%. Only a few cities have a higher down payment ratio. For example, the first set of down payment ratios in first-tier cities are all 30%, and the second set ranges from 40% to 50%. After the central bank lowered the lower limit of the down payment ratio, it is expected that more cities will follow suit, and there is room and expectation in first-tier cities to further lower the threshold for home buyers.

Yan Yuejin, research director of Yiju Research Institute, pointed out that the down payment ratio of mortgage has been reduced to 15%, which is the lowest down payment ratio in history, and it is also the most relaxed policy among various housing purchase policies in recent years, indicating that the national level attaches great importance to destocking and supporting reasonable housing consumption demand, which is of great significance to the promotion of mortgage, the rapid release and large-scale release of just-needed and improved housing.

Cancel the lower limit of mortgage interest rate at the national level

On the same day, the People’s Bank of China issued a notice on adjusting the interest rate policy of commercial individual housing loans.Cancel the lower limit of the national commercial personal housing loan interest rate policy for the first and second homes.

The provincial branches of the People’s Bank of China shall guide the self-discipline mechanism of interest rate pricing in provincial markets according to the principle of making policy according to the city, and independently determine whether to set the lower limit and the lower limit level of commercial personal housing loan interest rate in cities within their respective jurisdictions according to the real estate market situation of cities and the regulatory requirements of local governments.

Chen Wenjing pointed out that the lower limit of the interest rate policy for the first and second home loans at the national level should be abolished, and the right to regulate the lower limit of the mortgage interest rate should be given to local governments. Previously, the lower limit of the interest rate of the first and second home loans was LPR-20BP for more than five years and LPR+20BP(4 for more than five years respectively (LPR was 3.95% for more than five years in April), and the lower limit of the interest rate of the first home loan could be cancelled in stages in cities where the price of new houses fell for three consecutive months year-on-year.

According to the data released by the central bank, as of the end of March, among the 343 cities (prefecture level and above) in China, 75 lowered the lower limit of the first home loan interest rate and 64 cancelled the lower limit.

According to the monitoring of the Central Finger Research Institute, Super 20 City announced that the lower limit of the first home loan interest rate will be phased out from April; In May, Nanjing and Hefei successively announced the cancellation of the lower limit of the first home loan interest rate. At present, some banks in some cities have implemented the interest rate of the first home loan at around 3.1%. This time, the central bank canceled the lower limit of the national mortgage interest rate, and the policy benefits extended to the second suite. It is expected that more cities will lower the mortgage interest rate, and the room for lowering the mortgage interest rate in first-tier and core second-tier cities is also expected to open.

Reduce the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans by 0.25 percentage points.

Another policy concerns provident fund loans.

The People’s Bank of China issued a notice on lowering the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans. Since May 18, 2024,The interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans will be lowered by 0.25 percentage points, and the interest rates of the first set of individual housing provident fund loans for less than 5 years (including 5 years) and more than 5 years will be adjusted to 2.35% and 2.85% respectively.The interest rates of the second set of personal housing provident fund loans for less than 5 years (including 5 years) and more than 5 years are adjusted to not less than 2.775% and 3.325% respectively.

Wang Xiaoyu, chief analyst of Zhuge Data Research Center, pointed out that lowering the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans will enable more employees with stable employment to buy houses at lower cost, enhance their purchasing ability and stimulate employees with stable employment to enter the market.

De-stocking and Implementing the Mode of "Purchasing on behalf of the Agent"

According to Xinhua News Agency, a nationwide video conference was held in Beijing on the 17th. He Lifeng, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, attended the conference and delivered a speech.

He Lifeng pointed out that,Relevant local governments should proceed from reality and properly dispose of the sold idle residential land by means of recovery and acquisition as appropriate, so as to help housing enterprises with financial difficulties solve their difficulties. In cities with a large inventory of commercial housing, the government can order and purchase some commercial housing at a reasonable price as appropriate for affordable housing.

Yan Yuejin said that the core point of this policy can be summarized as "purchasing on behalf of the agent". This model responds to the previous central government’s "policies and measures to study and digest existing houses and optimize incremental housing", which combines the acquisition and digestion of existing houses with the new construction of affordable housing. It is in line with the market rules and has a very good orientation to organically combine the work of destocking and real estate projects. Recently, including the purchase of housing in Lin ‘an, Hangzhou as public rental housing and the purchase of housing in Dali, Yunnan as guaranteed rental housing, it has a positive effect on digesting the stock and supplementing the increment.

Wang Xiaotong believes that this policy is closely related to the problems in the current real estate market. From the perspective of decontamination, the decontamination cycle of commercial housing reached a new high this year. According to the monitoring data of Zhuge Data Research Center, the decontamination cycle in April was 18 months, which was 0.8 months longer than last month. At present, the destocking pressure in the new housing market has reached a high point. The government’s purchase of commercial housing as an affordable housing to ensure the removal of commercial housing also has a certain positive effect on the delivery of commercial housing. Last year, driven by the special debts of major guaranteed buildings, the growth rate of completion continued to rise, but this year, the growth rate of completion remained negative for three consecutive months. Guaranteed buildings are closely related to people’s livelihood. Only by delivering new houses on time will the concerns of buyers be eliminated and the stable development of the real estate market be promoted.

What if the banana green strikes? Stewed meat stewed goose ate it.

The original Si Xiaole flavor planet comes from the album Looking for Dongguan.

In ancient India and Persia, people said that golden banana fruit is "a good health care fruit given by God".

Banana farmers in Mayong also feel that the whole world should love bananas.

How delicious can bananas be?

Ah! Ma Yong banana, it smells good!

When I went to Mayong, I happened to catch up with the second year of the typhoon. Bananas failed to harvest, and dozens of villages in hundreds of miles were densely covered with the worries of banana farmers.

In the past, people in Mayong firmly believed that bananas were the most honest crops, and Mayong was the land blessed by banana fairies. Everywhere, the sunshine is cool and the water is abundant. Ma Yong’s ancestors worked hard to reclaim land around the sea, enclosing a fertile and sandy alluvial plain farmland, creating an ecosystem that is very suitable for banana growth.

Half a century ago, the yield of bananas in Mayong reached 4,400 kilograms per mu, and the state specially awarded banana planting certificates. In 1987, this humble small urban and rural area in the Pearl River Delta created a crazy achievement of an annual banana output of 22 tons. At its peak, Mayong bananas were even exported to the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, North Korea and Hong Kong.

It’s just a banana. What’s the difference? Bananas sell well, that is, Mayong people can do business.

Guest officer, please stay and eat two bites of bananas produced in Mayong. You can’t help but say, "It smells good!"

Ma Yong banana is pleasing in appearance, which is different from the slender bananas in Southeast Asia. Ma Yong banana is another school of healthy and strong, with neat fruit combs. The ripe banana skin is golden yellow with sunny luster, and at first glance it is a baby nourished by the land.

Eat it in your mouth, and sure enough! Fructose is abundant, the flesh is sweet and waxy, and the rich banana aroma scatters flowers in the mouth, which is really different from bananas elsewhere. In the local words of Mayong: "It smells like bananas!"

Li Yingqiang, a banana wholesaler who has been running with his father for decades, remembers that 1999 was the best year, and he could sell 40,000 kilograms of bananas to Henan a day.

He Jianxian, a banana farmer, also remembers the good days when he planted several thousand kilograms of bananas a year and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars. At that time, the banana chamber of commerce in the Soviet Union spent several months coming to the banana field to purchase goods, boasting in half-baked Chinese that Mayong bananas were soft, smooth and sweet, with unique flavor and the best taste.

Most people in Shangcun village in machong have gone to do business all over the world, but every household still has an inseparable relationship with bananas, or has a few acres of banana fields at home, or a banana purchaser who migrated from other places in previous generations. There are even several households at the end of the village who specialize in buying and selling fertilizers in banana fields.

Bananas can be harvested in all seasons. Except for those who buy and sell, there are traces of bananas in the daily diet of people in the town. Every once in a while, they get into the banana forest and cut off a handful of green ones. They put the tail of a bicycle and carry it home with a snort. They put it in a rice jar and cook it golden with incense. Old people and children can eat it happily for a week.

"Porphyra and banana syrup" is not a dark dish

Banana bone soup, braised goose with banana and fried eggs with banana buds all make you want to stop.

Li Yingqiang does banana wholesale and other fruit wholesale at the same time, but every year on the second day of February of the lunar calendar, he will definitely go back to Mayong to attend the "Apo Club". On that day, every household will make banana pancakes to offer sacrifices to Nu Wa Niangniang. Adults always remember to find the empress to keep safe, and children always remember that the empress has come to protect their food.

Locals also make pancakes with banana buds.

Ma Yong’s banana pancakes are too sticky to stop: mash the yellow ripe banana pulp into banana paste, add glutinous rice flour and water, stir well, pour it into an oil pan, spread it thin and fry it, which is soft, tough, sticky, simple and rough, but it is firmly entangled in the taste buds by the sweet and soft glutinous local bananas.

We didn’t catch up with the grandmother’s meeting, and we had a banana feast including banana pancakes at the "Harvest Farm" next to the machong Highway, which opened our eyes! When bananas are regarded as daily food, there are so many strange ways to open them!

Boss Huang, who also grew up in the banana forest in his early 50 s, took care of this roadside water village dish for 7 years, and now there are more than a dozen bananas on the menu.

Banana Bone Soup, Banana Braised Goose, Banana Bud Fried Eggs, Sweet and Sour Bananas, Golden Wheat Banana Balls … Remember to save your stomach for a bowl of traditional laver and banana syrup after dinner, and bananas are gorgeous in Cantonese cooking without violating!

Most of the bananas used for cooking are raw bananas, with a lot of glue but a weak aroma of banana fruit. They are a supporting role who keeps his own quiet contribution, and will not steal the flavor of other ingredients. What they eat is mainly the wonderful taste of bananas between refreshing and sweet and sticky and sticky.

Ma Yong people also found more reasons for this sweet and plump food to clear away heat, dampness and stomach.

Mayong people think that banana laver syrup can prevent pinkeye, clear away heat and relieve summer heat, reduce fire and improve eyesight, so many families can eat this classic dessert:

The practice is roughly to peel raw bananas, soak them in water, cut them into pieces, rub them with your hands, wash off the banana gum, and then boil them in boiling water.

When the banana gum floats, remove the gum foam with a spoon and wash it with cold water to make the bananas in the field fresh. Add ginger slices and boil them in water for half an hour. When the banana slices become soft, add the washed laver and add brown sugar.

This is a pot of sweet and sour summer syrup, and it is also one of the must-eat items in Dongguan in my mind.

"Bananas are more than fruits for Ma Yong people." It is three meals a day, which is a daily support.

The warning given by the older generation of banana growers to the young people who continue to grow and manage bananas in Mayong is that the most difficult thing to grow bananas is persistence. For hundreds of years, Mayong people have repeatedly fallen and got up in seedling raising, planting, harvesting and ripening, and they have probably missed 11,000 miles. Nowadays, no one can guarantee how long the road ahead is.

A new batch of Ma Yong’s "american born chinese" are also hesitant, but they are more determined to stand at the intersection with the banana forest.

The spring of 2020 is still wet. Banana farmers said that the mother bananas that were blown down by the cold wave and typhoon two years ago have now sprouted again. This year’s Nu Wa Niangniang not only inspired everyone’s enthusiasm for banana pancakes as always, but also seemed to bring some new hopes for bananas.

Urgent action does not disgrace the mission-on-the-spot record of Wuhan Youfu Hospital’s anti-epidemic work

Jingchu. com client-Jingchu. com news (correspondent Wang Mian) Since Wuhan Youfu Hospital was listed as the designated treatment hospital for patients in COVID-19 on February 14th, Wuhan Veterans Affairs Bureau urgently mobilized all forces in the system, completed various transformation tasks in time, and increased 900 beds within 4 days, providing a strong guarantee for winning the epidemic prevention and control war. As of February 21st, Wuhan Youfu Hospital has treated 256 patients with COVID-19.

Firmly invest in the fight against epidemic prevention and control

Youfu Hospital is only 200 meters away from the seafood market in South China. Since December last year, it has been receiving patients with fever of unknown reasons. Faced with the shortage of resources in the hospital and the inability to properly treat it, the party group of Wuhan Veterans Affairs Bureau immediately led the Party Committee of Youfu Hospital to seriously study the feasibility of hospital reconstruction, carefully calculate the beds that can be vacated, integrate and adjust the wards, and treat patients according to the maximum carrying capacity. At the same time, it reported the relevant situation of the special care hospital to the municipal party committee and municipal government, and applied to treat patients in COVID-19 as a designated hospital.

On February 14th, the city leaders approved this hospital as a designated hospital for patients in COVID-19. At the same time, the hospital received the task of preparing 900 beds before February 17. Since then, a race against time, greatly enhance the fighting capacity of COVID-19 patients to save the assault war in the position of the special care hospital.

Race against time to complete relay for life.

Faced with the arduous task of increasing 900 beds in four days, the Municipal Bureau of Veterans Affairs quickly blew the assembly number, organized all the staff of the special care hospital (except the medical staff who care for the existing inpatients) and more than 330 staff members who did not undertake the epidemic prevention task in the sinking community, such as the municipal bureau organs, military rest offices and military rest centers, and mobilized more than 20 middle-level cadres of retired soldiers from Hubei Comrades Group to transfer patients, relocate and transform, and dispatch materials.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. There is no suitable office space, and a conference room less than 20 square meters serves as a design room, dispatching room, restaurant and rest stop for relocation and reconstruction planning; The elevator in the courtyard is not suitable for handling, so the relocated personnel will climb the stairs one by one to transport materials, and they will fight until the early morning for four consecutive days, and the WeChat step will average more than 30,000 steps for several days.

Where did the 900 beds and related medical materials come from under the current situation of city-wide closure? How to ensure the smooth travel of relocated people? To this end, the rear support personnel gave full play to the advantages of the retired military affairs department, and coordinated eight troops stationed in Han, military academies and military hospitals to urgently dispatch quilts, mattresses, sheets, masks, disinfectant and other scarce materials; At the same time, contact with the community where the relocated people live to ensure that the frontline personnel arrive at their posts in time and return home smoothly.

With the concerted efforts of the whole system of Qi Xin, on February 15th, 300 beds in Building No.2 in the old campus were put in place. On the 16th, 200 beds in Building 1 were in place; On the 17th, 400 beds in the new campus were put in place. At this point, all 900 beds have been assembled.

Medical staff in five provinces and regions rushed to the rescue.

If one side is in trouble, all sides will support it. On February 16th, 544 medical staff from Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Yunnan and Gansu provinces (autonomous regions) rushed to Wuhan and rushed to the city’s special care hospital in batches to jointly carry out patient treatment.

On February 17th, five aid medical teams rushed into work and took over 12 wards of the hospital. At present, patients in two wards have been treated.

In order to do a good job in the supply of life support for the aid medical team, the Municipal Youfu Hospital has set up a special administrative class headed by the vice president to fully guarantee the needs of the medical team for in-hospital meals, the collection of protective equipment and the distribution of living materials. At the same time, a funding center composed of 20 medical staff was set up to help the medical team clean and disinfect protective articles, such as rubber shoes and goggles, daily, and to coordinate various protection and guarantee work.

As of 20: 00 on February 21st, the city’s Youfu Hospital has treated a total of 256 patients from COVID-19. At present, 251 patients from COVID-19 are being treated in the hospital (4 died and 1 was transferred). Among them, there are 53 elderly patients with severe diseases (average age over 75 years old) and 8 young patients with severe diseases (average age between 20 and 40 years old).

Epidemic prevention battlefield shows the true colors of retired soldiers

The special care hospital set up an isolation ward one month before the fixed-point transformation, which belongs to the high-risk zone of virus transmission. The relocation work has limited protection and heavy workload, so it is difficult to avoid exposure risks. At this time, five demobilized cadres of the Municipal Bureau of Veterans Affairs set up a resident assault detachment and organized more than ten demobilized cadres to fight one after another.

On February 15th, it snowed heavily, and the courtyard was brightly lit. Demobilized cadres took the lead in hard work, carrying heavy and hard-to-move materials such as sickbeds and cabinets upstairs and downstairs, regardless of the sweat soaking the back of clothes repeatedly, and kept working until 2 am the next day.

Shu Minjie, a demobilized cadre, took root in the unit. After fighting the epidemic for more than 20 days, a folding bed, a bowl of instant noodles and a disposable medical mask were all his equipment. "My wife and children have been sent back to their hometown, and I have no burden in fighting at the front line. I will take the initiative to ask for any task." Shu Minjie said.

Li Peng is a newly-arrived demobilized cadre in the Seventh Military Rest Center. After receiving the task, he entrusted his full-moon child to his parents, comforted his wife who had just given birth, and devoted himself to his work. He said: "The unit needs me. I am party member. I will go first. I am a retired soldier."

The number of finless porpoises in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River is about 62, an increase of 24% compared with 2017.

On December 28th, Nanjing held a press conference to report the results of background investigation on biodiversity in Nanjing and its protection. The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) learned from the press conference that there are about 62 Yangtze finless porpoises in Nanjing Yangtze finless porpoises provincial nature reserve, an increase of 24% compared with 2017, accounting for 10.4% of the total number of Yangtze finless porpoises in the main stream.

The Yangtze finless porpoise is the only existing cetacean animal in the Yangtze River, a national first-class protected wild animal, and also a "barometer" of the Yangtze River ecology. According to Zhang Ruizhong, a first-class researcher of Nanjing Greening and Landscape Bureau, in order to protect the Yangtze finless porpoise and its habitat, the Jiangsu provincial government approved the establishment of Nanjing Yangtze finless porpoise provincial nature reserve in 2014. The nature reserve starts from Xinshengzhou, Jiangning District in the west, adjacent to Maanshan City, Anhui Province, and extends to Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in the east, covering the range of finless porpoises in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River, with a total length of 44.8 kilometers and a planned total area of 86.92 square kilometers.

In 2022, the latest scientific research on finless porpoises in the whole Yangtze River basin and the investigation of background resources in the nature reserve showed that the number of finless porpoises in the nature reserve was about 62, accounting for 10.4% of the total number of finless porpoises in the main stream of the Yangtze River, and half of the total number of finless porpoises in Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River, which was one of the sections with the highest distribution density of finless porpoises in the whole main stream of the Yangtze River, with an increase of 24% compared with the scientific research data in 2017. The Yangtze finless porpoises in the nature reserve are clustered, mainly distributed in the waters near Qianzhou, Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge and Zihuizhou.

Since October, 2021, Nanjing Bureau of Ecology and Environment has organized the first city-wide background survey of biodiversity in the city, and a total of 3,672 species have been recorded. Among them, a small Metasequoia glyptostroboides tree and the largest population in the world urban environment were found at the base of the Ming wall of Xuanwu Lake, and the largest Taxus mairei population known to be naturally regenerated in urban forests in China was found under the deciduous broad-leaved forest at the southern foot of Zijinshan Mountain.

The system of "four days’ work and three days’ rest" envisioned by NPC professors has aroused discussion.

Comic Niuli

  Recently, Wang Qiyan, a professor at Renmin University of China who is famous for studying leisure life and leisure economy, said in an interview with the media that people in some Nordic countries work four days a week and have three days off. According to China’s current economic growth rate, even if the economic growth rate is lower, if it can increase by 6% every year, by 2030, China can implement the system of working four days and taking three days off.
Population pressure and competitive pressure have always kept the working class in our country in a high-intensity working state. Therefore, Professor Wang Qiyan’s statement immediately aroused great repercussions, and netizens from all walks of life stood in two factions with clear flags. The official WeChat of this newspaper conducted an investigation on this.

  [Support] The improvement of material level gives birth to leisure demand
"Leisure economy is a matter of time"

  "Now that people’s material living standards have improved, they begin to hope that the pace of life can slow down and enjoy life." Netizen @ Bai Zhuangzhuang said that she works in a physical examination center and only works for half a day. She is "satisfied" with her life.
In her opinion, life pays attention to contentment. Now, eating and drinking are not worrying, and there are plenty of holidays, which is exactly the life she wants. "I think everyone doesn’t want to be too tired after having certain material conditions. Therefore, the leisure economy of working for four days and resting for three days must be an inevitable trend."

  "Leisure is economy and attitude"

  Netizen @ Jinger works in a private enterprise. Although she has only four days off a month and is busy with her work, she thinks her mentality has reached a "leisure state". "According to Professor Wang’s research, the leisure economy can only be achieved if there is material abundance. I don’t think so." @ Jinger believes that it is very important to slow down life. For example, she said that she would not easily add workload to herself, "money can never be earned"; If she has a little spare time, she will get together with her friends … "So, on the surface, my time is tight, but my mood is relaxed."

  [Objection] The pursuit of leisure economy should also take into account the present.
The leisure economy after 20 years is somewhat ambitious.

  In the WeChat survey, most netizens are skeptical about the leisure economy and think that "some are too far away". "China has a large population and great competitive pressure. It is not easy to find a suitable job. It is probably counterproductive to talk about the leisure economy now." Netizen @ The watcher of the night sky said.
@ Sky Watcher works as an accountant in a private company. In order to earn more money and buy a house as soon as possible, he also makes up lessons for several students on Saturday and Sunday. "Who doesn’t want to relax, but now the pressure of survival is so great that they must be more diligent than others." He feels that instead of blindly pursuing leisure economy, it is better to focus on the present.

  The concept of leisure encourages laziness.

  "The leisure economy must not become a lazy economy." Netizen @ Invisible Champion said.
He left a message on WeChat, "Vacation is more about the welfare of administrative institutions, and service industries such as catering are simply hard to enjoy." He is worried that if the leisure economy becomes a reality, it will only benefit those who enjoy vacation benefits. "I think we should link the vacation system with the workload and work efficiency, and enjoy the vacation after completing certain work tasks, so as to avoid the emergence of lazy people."

  ○ Quotations from Wang Qiyan

  Wang Qiyan: Leisure must be based on highly developed material conditions. Only when you have a material foundation can you relax; Otherwise, you can’t even eat. What are you playing with? Everything is based on the improvement of labor efficiency.
Wang Qiyan: The story of the lazy people’s congress (editor’s note: held in 2006, put forward ten declarations, such as "Don’t do what others can do, and don’t do what they can do tomorrow". ) can be interpreted from two aspects. First, when you struggle to a certain extent in the first half of your life, you have a certain foundation. It’s no big deal if you procrastinate for a day. If you are the boss, you procrastinate for a day and someone below will do it for you. Second, this is actually advocating a slow lifestyle. In some countries in Northern Europe, there are slow meals and slow exercise. Greece is a typical example. People often eat a meal for six hours, which is a manifestation of slow life.
Wang Qiyan: No pains, it is respect for your own life, responsibility for yourself, responsibility for your family, and responsibility for the employees of the company you manage. Besides, if you overwork and do everything, what else will others do? You leave some job opportunities for others and don’t overwork yourself, which is more fair.

According to yanzhao metropolis daily.

  A. Noun explanation

  Leisure economy: Leisure economy is a highly developed product of industrialized society, which originated in Europe and America, and began to emerge in the middle of 19th century, and entered a period of rapid development in 1980s.
Wang Qiyan, a professor at China People’s Congress, said that China’s leisure economy has several important indicators. First, people’s leisure time will increase substantially, accounting for 40% to 45%; Second, by 2030, about 50% of China’s GDP will come from the leisure industry; Third, 50% of ordinary people’s consumption expenditure is used for leisure consumption; Fourth, half of our land is used for leisure.

China’s paid vacation system

  According to China’s Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees (implemented on January 1, 2008):
Article 2 Employees of government organs, organizations, enterprises, institutions, private non-enterprise units and individual industrial and commercial households with employees who have worked continuously for more than one year shall enjoy paid annual leave (hereinafter referred to as annual leave). The unit shall ensure that employees enjoy annual leave. During the annual leave, employees enjoy the same salary as during the normal working period.
Article 3 Employees who have worked for more than one year but less than 10 years shall have an annual leave of 5 days; If it has been 10 years but less than 20 years, the annual leave will be 10 days; For those who have completed 20 years, the annual leave is 15 days.
National statutory holidays and rest days are not included in the annual leave.

  advice from others
USA: Holiday days can be accumulated.

  American paid vacation can be used up at one time in a year, or divided into multiple times as needed. When paying wages, writing down the remaining days of vacation can help employees save and accumulate.
If the employee is dismissed, resigned or retired in the middle of the year, the unused vacation days can be converted into cash in the last salary.

  Germany: Vacation is wasted without compensation.

  According to the relevant regulations, new employees of German government agencies can take 20 days off with pay, and the number of days off will increase with the increase of working years. Employees over 50 can enjoy 30 days off with pay every year.
German law also stipulates that people can split the vacation date according to their actual situation, but at least one vacation must reach 12 days, and no economic compensation is given to individuals who do not take vacations.

  Japan: There are basically one or two holidays every month.

  There are three long holidays in a year, with the most holidays and anniversaries in May, plus Saturday and Sunday, which is basically a Golden Week. Another continuous holiday is at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. Basically, each enterprise decides the number of rest days at its own discretion.
Japan stipulates that employees have "paid leave", which means paid leave. Although wage earners work a long day, they also have a lot of holidays. Apart from Saturday and Sunday, there are basically one or two other holidays every month.

  Canada: Give up paid leave and compensate 4% of annual salary.

  According to the situation in different provinces, there are generally 10 to 12 legal holidays every year except weekends, all of which are arranged on Mondays or Fridays, so you have a three-day holiday with weekends.
According to the Canadian labor law, employers must give employees paid holidays every year, which is part of employee benefits. If the employee gives up paid leave, the employer will compensate 4% of the annual salary.

  Australia: At least 20 days paid vacation every year.

  Australia implements a "paid vacation" system. Apart from public holidays, there are at least 20 days of paid vacation every year, and you can also get an incentive salary equivalent to 17.5% of your usual salary.
Although there are many public holidays in Australia, most of them last only one day. Public holidays are generally national holidays, but some departments that must operate, such as large daily supermarkets, will shorten their business hours appropriately. At this time, if you insist on working, you can get twice or even three times the salary, but locals generally prefer not to double or even triple the salary and choose to take a vacation.

  France: There are 6 weeks paid vacation every year.

  The French is the original initiator of paid vacation system. Now, paid holidays in France have been as long as six weeks a year, and their working hours have dropped below 40 hours a week.
